Kushal Poddar Poet Prose Poetry

The Broken Road To Heaven

The broken road to heaven 


The broken road in need of maintenance  
through which we have traveled, mute and solemn 
to our delight
was alight with millions of glow bugs;
evening was another leaf fallen
when I whisper to my friend Richard,
“Is it heaven? Have we arrived at last?” 
he smiled,  “we are yet to reach my home.”

Caroline Cécile Delacroix June 10, 2009 at 11:37 AM Interesting approach to the way you see the road. I like the idea that there is a friend on the road. Thanks for sharing, Caroline.
